Let me give me a quick explanation of my situation. 2 years ago I met my fiancé during my internship in Los Angeles, I was here for about 5 months on a J1 visa. After this we kept on visiting each other and we'd decided to get married and started our K1 fiancé visa process.
I've been visiting my fiancé every three months on an esta form, and luckily I've never had any issues with this. Immigration did tell me to watch out that I wouldn't be spending to much time in the US compared to my own country, so I've been taking this into account.
Now my issue.
I came back out of Los Angeles about a week and a half ago, after staying there for 87 days. My fiancé visa interview is planned for the middle of October. I was wondering, if my visa gets approved, can I go back to Los Angeles right away? Or should I wait for 3 months again in case they say I'm spending too much time in the US?
I understand that with an esta this probably wouldn't be possible, but now because I travel with a fiancé visum and I'm in line with other visa holders I was wondering if I could still get in trouble. I know that there are no specific rules for this, and every officer makes their own decision, but I was wondering if anyone might have experience with this.
I hope I explained it clear enough and that people can help me.
